Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Does the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement in the hadith of the three men who came to him, where He said to them
And he who turns away from my Sunnah, he has no relation with Meفمن رغب عن سنتي فليس مني
Sahih Muslim 1401
, imply that they committed disbelief because of that?

Answer:
"Is not of me" means this is a warning, and it does not imply that they committed disbelief. Rather, "is not of me" means he is not on my path, which is moderation in worship. Yes.
